Maximizing student capacity and restoring motivation—the key to school success

"The Education Revolution focuses on the whole child through both academic and social aspects of learning. This is the first text I've read that addresses the small percent of our population whose behaviors will not be eradicated through punishment. I feel confident that I can trust this research and use these ideas in my teaching."
